Do while with variable

Hello all,

I'm trying to load data from an Iseries.

And every bookyear is in another Company and also an other filepath(accesspath)

I have an excel with Year and CompanyNumber.

Boekjaar,     BoekLib

2011     11E

2012     12E

2013     13E

2014     14E

I have only need to refresh the last 2 years (current year and CurrentYear -1)

Now I need to do a select like this

select *

FROM S0678ADT.X62FIL13EO.PBP;

and

Select *

FROM S0678ADT.X62FIL14EO.PBP;

Here is an example of my script where my BoekLib (in Yellow) is empty...

How can I fill up "BoekLib"?

You used for your load within the loop the functionality that qv automatically concatenated tables which have the same fields. Is there any difference between the tables qv create a new table with a number-suffix.

In this case you should check your data and if they are correct you need a forced concatenate:

for vFileNo ...

     let vConcatenate = if($(vFileNo) = 1, '', 'concatenate(MyTable)');

     ....

     MyTable:

     $(vConcatenate)

     Load ....

     SQL ....

next

Marcus,

thanks for you respond.

As I go and check the files there is indeed a difference between the files.

I  had also found a solution that was working.

Lib:

LOAD

     Boekjaar,

     BoekLib

FROM

[..\01 Table Files\Boekhoudjaren.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Blad1) ;

PBPTemp:

load * inline [

Temp

1

];

For vFileNo = 1 to NoOfRows('Lib')

      LET TMP = Peek('BoekLib',$(vFileNo)-1,'Lib');

      LET vYear = Peek('Boekjaar',$(vFileNo)-1,'Lib');

      Let vFileName = 'S0678ADT.X62FIL' & '$(TMP)' & 'O.PBP';

      Concatenate(PBPTemp)

      PBPTemp:

      Load *,

       '$(vYear)' as Year;

      SQL SELECT *

FROM $(vFileName) ;

   Next vFileNo

Drop Table Lib;

NoConcatenate

PBP:

LOAD

     BPKODE,

     BPINTR,

     BPHOVE,

     BPFILL,

     Year

Resident PBPTemp where Temp <> 1 ;

Drop Table PBPTemp ;
